The Palestine Ambassador to Nigeria, Abdullah Shawesh, has ruled out any justification for the continued sales of weapons to Israel as he noted that over the past six months, Israel has unequivocally proven that it uses Western and foreign weapons indiscriminately against the Palestinian people.
He stated this while addressing journalists at a press conference in Abuja as the ongoing war in Palestine reached 174 days in Gaza strip.
Shawesh stated that Palestinians in Gaza children, women and men remain stuck in a non-stop nightmare as Homes demolished and entire families as generations wiped out while hunger and starvation stalking the population.
The Ambassador stressed that after so much suffering of so many months, Palestinians in Gaza are marking Ramadan with Israeli bombs still falling, bullets still flying, artillery still pounding, and humanitarian assistance still facing obstacle upon obstacle.
Abdullah said the strict occupation measures in Jerusalem before the start of the Palm Sunday procession prevented thousands of Christians from the West Bank from arriving in the Holy City on this occasion.
He added that the Palestinian Ministry of Health as of Sunday, March 24, said approximately 32,200 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli occupation forces and among the victims, 72% were women (around 8,800) and children (approximately 13,750) .
Ambassador Shawesh stated that detention campaigns are accompanied by brutal beatings, vandalism, destruction of detainees houses, and confiscation of gold and money malnutrition among children is spreading fast and reaching devastating and unprecedented levels in the Gaza Strip due to the wide-reaching impacts of the war and ongoing restrictions on aid delivery.
